In the Kurla BEST bus accident case, the police have seized the DVR from the CCTV cameras installed in the bus. The footage will be used to identify passengers who were present during the incident, and their statements will be recorded as witnesses, a senior police officer stated. These passengers, being eyewitnesses to the horrific accident, can provide crucial testimony that may help in securing a conviction against the accused.
